Description: There are actually two ways to apply a shadow to a text: doing it on the characters or to the whole text box. In both cases what happens for regular text is that it is duplicated on a diagonal but using a different color (customizable) and putting the copy behind the original text. If you insert an emoji among the characters (ππ±πππ for instance), LO behaves similarly but not properly in the same way: it duplicates the icon but doesn't grey it's shape. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Draw or Impress; 2. Create a Text Box and write some text, then insert also some emojis (you can copy from here ππ±πππ and paste them); 3. Select the whole text (or the box) and apply the shadow. Actual Results: The icons are just duplicated, not greyed (or colored as specified) Expected Results: The software should somehow detect the icons shape and just fill it with the desired shadow color.

Already the case in 6.4.0.3. In 6.3.0.4, the emojis were rendered as monochrome characters and had the same shadow as regular characters.
